So the twelve-year-old and I played a game of Heroclix last weekend, 1500 points, because we could (because the eight-year-old wasn't interested). I think it took somewhere between 6 and 7 hours, not counting a dinner break. I don't think I've played a game for that long since college!
Anyway, we'd gotten the Young Avengers figures, and she chose Stature (Cassie Lang) for her team. (We played a Marvel vs. DC game, and she trounced me as soundly as she generally does.) Stature has an awesome Heroclix figure.
See, awesome. Imposing, ready for action--any sensible villain would get out of the way!
I totally want an actual action figure of her like this, snarl and all.
However, there was no figure of Kate Bishop/Hawkeye in the set*--what's up with that? They've got all the boys (except Wiccan's brother whose name I forget, and is he really on the team anyway, it's been so long since I've seen them that I've forgotten...), and Kate joined up at around the same point Cassie did.
* For the non-Heroclix folks, the "set" referred to is the latest set of Marvel game pieces, the Avengers set. Heroclix sets are only roughly thematic, and this set also featured a number of Invaders pieces (I snatched up Bucky, Toro, Spitfire, Union Jack, and Blazing Skull and the Thin Man to boot) but no Original Human Torch, so I suppose I should complain about that as well.

His name is Speed. Wiccan's brother I mean, and he's on the team. Speed, Kate Bishop Hawkeye, and possibly the Iron Lad Vision (the new Vision using Iron Lad's armor) are the ones who are still missing from the Heroclix team of Young Avengers.
there is a kate bishop hawkeye in the secret invasion series, but speed and iron lad vision are both missing to my knowledge. there are several regular visions though.
